Now as the sun sets on the sea
I wonder just where we might be?
We're so gently afloat
And we're safe in this boat,
Where the only man-eater is me.

Hector Kerfipple went sailing
And fell right over the railing.
"Man Overboard!"
Helga roared,
Then shipmates she ran about hailing.
--- Gearhart

"Please help my husband!" she cried.
"He is an awfully nice guy.
He can't swim a lick,
So please come over quick
Or he'll take in some water and die."
--- Gearhart

The crew flew at once into action --
But not to Helga's satisfaction.
She felt they were slow
And her anger did grow.
She thought they moved like in traction.
--- Gearhart

A preserver to Hector was passed
And a life-boat was lowered down fast,
With crewmen galore
To drag him aboard,
Making sure this trip was not his last.
--- Gearhart

When Helga saw he was okay,
She screamed and then ran away.
Hector said, "I was shoved
Overboard by my love --
'Least I though she loved me till today.
--- Gearhart

For someone who rowed out the flood,
There must be some seafaring blood.
With sailcloth to sew
When big breezes blow,
And strong masts are mangled to crud.
--- Daniel Ford

There was a drunk sailor named Lincoln
Who said as his ship started sinkin',
If I bail fast enough,
I'll get rid of this stuff
So I can get back to my drinkin'.

The ferry capsized at sunset
When it started to rain without let...
To the canopy side
All ran to hide
From the rain so as not to get wet.

There once was a woman named Carol
Who placed herself gravely in peril;
She ended up dead
From a blow to her head,
When she rode the great falls in a barrel.

A tailor, who sailed from Quebec,
In a storm ventured once upon deck;
But the waves of the sea
Were as strong as could be,
And he tumbled in up to his neck.

A sea loving lady named Gast
Went out on a ship sleek and fast.
She was fucked in her cabin
By a sailor named Babbin,
While her panties were flown at half mast.

As he swam in the clear Adriatic
Young Beppo was rather dramatic.
He fastened a sail
To a pole in his tail,
A whim some considered erratic.
--- Grand Prix Lim 783

This yachting's a really fun game,
For the sea is never the same.
But winds can get big,
And seas wreck the rig,
And Poseidon thinks he's not to blame.
--- Archie

Captain Haddock was feeling quite smug --
He'd constructed a prototype tug.
But on his first trip,
Someone scuppered his ship,
When, in mid-stream, they pulled out the plug.
--- Mary Danby - 2nd Armada

There once was a couple renowned,
Who went sailing on old Puget Sound.
He was fucking her proud,
When they both saw the crowd
That had gathered since their boat went aground.
--- Laurence Craft

I say! Any girlies about?
Here's an offer you'll love, I've no doubt;
A free cruise on my yacht, what?
For stroking my whatnot
And nursing this damn-awful gout.
--- Anon

We get used to watching all sports
And marvel at many reports.
All sports have their faults,
But that of old salts,
Is a risk when away from their ports.
--- Archie

To a young seaman it was a shocker
For it seemed like the joke of a mocker.
He'd heard, time after time,
"That's no rope, it's a line!
And we store the line in the Rope Locker."
--- Loren Fitzhugh P0307

A traveler who called himself Mort
Took girls on a cruise for some sport.
They thought it was nice
Going round the world twice,
Before they had even left port.
--- Spose A

On a round-the-world trip on a yacht,
I learnt to tie many a knot.
What I learned as a scout
I had to throw out;
Scout and sailor knots differ a lot.

A boat sailing down from Ann Arbor
Hit a storm coming out of the harbor.
In a garden 'twas marooned,
With spring flowers festooned,
And its starboard harbored an arbor.
--- Sam Mitchel

The world, in all types does abound;
Some fit in square holes, some in round.
Some in storms sail a boat,
While some men, you will note,
In fair weather will drive boats aground.
--- Albin Chaplin 3024-2412

There was a young lady named Una,
Only girl on a 'round the world schooner.
With her very loud voice
She did not have a choice;
She's the skipper and a honeymooner!
--- Arthur Pattaffy

I just want to make sure there'll be
Enough for all of us three.
You know we're voracious,
And since the yacht's spacious,
There's another ship in from the sea.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

There once was a yachtswoman, Hetty,
Who had quite a way with spaghetti.
She'd use it as string,
And that sort of thing,
To tie up her boat at the jetty.
--- Mary Danby - 2nd Armada

There was a young yachtsman named Dick,
Who sailed boldly north up the Mill Crick.
The smell was so bad,
And it made him so mad,
That he spun and sped south really quick.
--- Thomas A Ratliff Jr P0410

A stowaway to ports remote,
Tried to screw all the sailors afloat.
They dispensed with foreplay,
Stuck heer on the forestay --
Now she's bummy-fucked by the whole boat.
--- H Welchel

The stowaway's appetites whetted
The parties both sordid and fetid.
She commenced in to friggin'
Up high in the riggin'.
Some say she was well tarred and feted.
--- Irish

Fifty-one dibbled their nib,
Then left her curled up in a jib.
Said Tar fifty-two,
I'll eat out her spoo --
I could use this sail for a bib!
--- H Welchel

This lass has had some kind of trip.
Swallowing se(a)men is not just a quip:
When the ship struck a reef,
It cause her no grief;
She simply went down on the ship.
--- Irish

The boat was rent clear through the middle,
And going down like an iron griddle.
No time for a suck!
Less time for a fuck!
Perhaps she could get one last diddle...
--- H Welchel

The Cook said "My cranks name is Fook.
She said, "You know Doris, my nook.
I know you've one hand,
But perhaps, my good man,
I could ride on your lovely white hook.

This is file eel

His ivory prosthetic paw
(With Old Boston Pier in scrimshaw)
He took her to G
And sang "Mates, look at me!
It's a wee dock in Doris, that a'."

The guy whos brains were quite quick,
Said: "I'll crack our ship with my dick!"
So he gathered the crowd
And they all stood about
Waiting for that awesome trick.

As soon as the winds killed the mist
The captain, on a life raft, quite pissed,
Turned his head and said:
"You stupid dick-head,
You know, the torpedo had missed!"

Should I take my poor wife on a cruise?
She's so tired, she will soon blow a fuse;
But the way she is made
I'm afraid she'll get laid,
By men who have nothing to loose.

Though Linda once worked with the law;
She quit it the first time she saw
The river's wide delta.
Now she takes her shelta
On a boat in a berth without flaw.
--- Anon

She sails with her co-captain hubby,
And at night when they crawl in their cubby,
She takes matters in hand.
His main mast makes a stand,
And then delves in the depths of her shrubby.
--- Anon

When lovers fight, they try to patch it,
And say, "We should bury the hatchet."
They try different measures
To restore their pleasures;
Sometimes they will cruise on a yacht.
--- Anon

I'd sure like to go on a cruise,
On a yacht where there's plenty of booze.
And lots of good food,
Where everyone's nude,
Except for those silly boat shoes.
--- Carol

Old Archie applied for a post --
Was told that the boat was a ghost.
Sis Chris is First Mate,
The mast is not straight,
And it's grounded somewhere on the coast.
--- Archie

I'm lost in the doldrums, I fear,
Not far from Madeira, m'dear.
An iceberg we struck
And the rudder got stuck,
So we've no navigational gear.
--- Peter Wilkins

Sis Chris, thank the lord, ain't on board,
Or else she'd have ravaged my sword.
The teeth in her cleft
Would've left me bereft,
And my mast comprehensively gored.
--- Peter Wilkins

You job application, old mate,
Arrived just a little bit late;
Got posted to Ayr,
Which I'm sure your aware,
Is the site of my country estate.
--- Peter Wilkins

And Carol (my god, what a rear!),
We'll soon have a party, m'dear.
With whiskey and ice
And excesses of vice,
When I've bloody well mended my gear.
--- Peter Wilkins

My yacht's in the Mediterranean
Full of princesses Arabian;
All of 'em cuties
And all with their duties,
To service my bits genitalian.

The Kearsage is an aircraft carrier;
It flies a plane that's called a Harrier.
It jumps right off the deck,
When it doesn't wreck;
Landing it at night, there's nothing scarier.

To Portsmouth returned the Ark Royal,
For the crew to set foot on Brit soil.
Some looked like cadets,
The old-timers' pets,
Much too young for the ship's routine toil.

When we talk 'bout design of the brig,
It's a ship that's not very big.
With two masts, main and fore,
And never no more;
Its sail plan is always square rig.

The folks from a dozen cruise ships,
Paid cabbies and bus drivers tips
To go to the glacier
And commune with nature,
And be in each others film clips.

If Harry Krause was a boat designer,
He'd never design a Bayliner.
On his boat, what he'd do
Is drop blue in the loo,
And christen a Bluewater Cruiseliner.

A girl on the dock in Manila
Sold every last Spanish mantilla,
All her shirts and pantsuits,
Every box of cheroots,
Now she prays for a Viking flotilla.

"This seagoing life is quite merry.

On a passenger ship,
Counting the Hoboken Ferry."

While performing their muscular chores.
But our cabin neighbors
Confine all their labors
To slamming their dressing room drawers.

There once was a cruise ship in Hoonah
Whose passengers hated canned tuna.
If we wanted such fare,
We'd go over there,
And sail with the folks on that schoona.

For a perfect getaway spot,
When summertime weather is hot,
Come aboard Ecstasy,
They'll burn it at sea...
A carnival cruise it is not.

During the Ecstasy ship fire,
Cruisers had a burning desire
To cancel the trip,
Escape from the ship,
And get in touch with a lawyer.

The oil polluted the Sound.

And asleep in his bunk,
But there's enough blame to go 'round.

As his ferry raced into the port;

And it killed forty-nine;
His trial is going to court.

Which one's a yawl and which a ketch.
The mizzen's 'hind the wheel
On a yawl, that's for real.
And this, please, in your memory etch.

Some are windward and some are alee.
There are ships that sail,
And some ships that whale,.
But a friendship is the ship for me.

Who inherited rather a lot.
So he sent off a card
To a shipbuilding yard,
And commissioned a luxury yacht.

Off the shore I can see something float.
It's a U-boat I see."
But he did not agree,
For he said, "That is NOT a-my boat."

Who put out to sea in a freighter;
She was very straight-laced
And vinegar-faced,
Until she got near the equator.
